Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba. | United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Statement by Mr. Miguel Díaz-canel Bermúdez, President of the Republic of Cuba, at the Opening Ceremony of the Thirty Eighth Session of ECLAC

Cuba elected to PAHO Executive Committee despite US opposition

Washington, September 29 (RHC)-- Cuba was elected to the Executive Committee of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) for a three-year term, with the support of all member states except the United States.

Suriname and Brazil were also elected to that committee.

The United States was once again isolated in its campaign of aggressions and attempts to discredit Cuba.

We appreciate the kind invitation conveyed by the People’s Republic of China to exchange on the best experience achieved in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic and the prospects for cooperation during the recovery stage. We would like to commend the work carried out by the Mexican Pro Tempore Presidency of CELAC.

Cuba denounced on Thursday at the FAO Council the obstacles to the acquisition of food, fuel and donations due to the US economic, commercial and financial blockade for almost six decades. Speaking on the fourth day of the 164th session of the FAO Council leading Cuba's Permanent Representation to that body, Councilor Rebeca Cutie referred to the efforts her country is making to guarantee food security in the midst of the Covid-19 emergency.
